Thompson said his greatest moments as a sports writer for the Sun Journal were watching the New Bern football team win the state championship in 2007 and covering the Pamlico County basketball team at the state title game in 2008.

“Just being there, seeing the overwhelming support of the fans, made the experience worthwhile,” he said. “To watch those teams and its faithful crowd come together, was amazing to witness.”

Thompson is an avid fan of the NBA and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even though it is frowned upon in this state, he enjoys watching North Carolina, N.C. State, East Carolina and Duke in football and basketball. However, Ohio State football is still number one in his heart.
